New Books 2013

Children's Books Win Big at the Oscars

Two children's books made into movies won Oscar Awards. The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick was made into the movie Hugo  which won several Oscars. Also, the children's book The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce was made into a 15-minute short film which won for Best Animated Short Film.

Finally, it hasn't won an Oscar yet, but the YA novel The Hunger Games, which has been made into a movie will open March 23rd. Readers of all ages will be there waiting for their favorite characters to come to life. Might be as big as the Twilight films. You think?
